My Nonprofit Reviews

They do some good things but overall your money can go further with a smaller, local charity. I get that fundraising goals need to be met but instead of sending flyers to my house asking me for more money, just spend that money on the kids. This organization used to spend like 90% of its proceeds to the kiddos but now it’s dipping. The only reason I support this place is because I think I owe it to my sponsored child. The staff give you this idea that you’ve basically adopted the kid and when you ask about cancelling the sponsor deal you are guilted into staying. It’s a good form of emotional blackmail for sure. They keep these kids dependent on us, why not use them for their marketing tactics? That seems to be the line of thinking with all of their mailings. Just stop marketing and spend that money on the kids. If I hear about that girl and her swimming journey one more time, I’m gonna lose it. It’s great that she’s supporting a good cause but my donation shouldn’t be used to promote her ambitions. One more thing, when a kid becomes pregnant do a better job of informing the sponsor. I shouldn’t hear about it after the child’s child is 3 months old. Please refocus your (the donor’s) money on the kids - not on marketing swimmers or British royalty.
